LIVE - Velocity vs Trailblazers - Match 2  

Velocity beat defending champions Supernovas by 5 wickets in the opening fixture of the Women's T20 Challenge 2020.

It was their bowlers who set up the victory for them with Ekta Bisht being the standout with three scalps while Jahanara Alam and Leigh Kasperek picked up two wickets each.

After being 38/3, Veda Krishnamurthy and Sushma Verma resurrected their innings. South African big-hitter Sune Luus took them to victory with an unbeaten 37 off 21 deliveries at a strike rate of over 175.

Stylish left-hand opening batter Smriti Mandhana will lead the Trailblazers. They will expect the batting sensation to get them off to a flier.

Richa Ghosh, who played the T20 World Cup final against Australia as the concussion substitute of Taniya Bhatia, will be an important batter in the Trailblazers' ranks.

Left-hand batter and right-arm off-break bowler Deepti Sharma will be a crucial player for the team and has been named the deputy skipper.

Jhulan Goswami and Rajeshwari Gayakwad will be the team's leading Indian bowling options. In Salma Khatun, Sophie Ecclestone, Natthakan Chantham and Deandra Dottin, Trailblazers have put together a good set of overseas players.
